sublime

It's been cold.

Very cold.

So cold the ice hasn't really melted. It sublimates. Which leaves some funky, hard to photograph shapes. Icicles with skinny spots. Some exceedingly smooth, others ripply.

I liked the shapes here with the downspout...

And the sun coming through these...

My ice ornaments melted very little. There's a few drips on the ground. Mostly the water just vaporized, concentrating the pigments in curious ways ....

Leaving icy colored strings behind.
